Accessibility Statement

At JBW, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to provide an inclusive and usable website for all visitors, regardless of ability or technology.

Compliance Status

The JBW website is designed and maintained to conform as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

We consider WCAG 2.2 AA to be the appropriate benchmark for digital accessibility and use it as the primary standard for evaluating and remediating our website.

Accessibility Technology & Monitoring

In addition to accessible design and development practices, JBW utilizes multiple tools and technologies to support and maintain accessibility, including:

  • axe DevTools
  • WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool
  • accessiBe Accessibility Interface & AI Remediation Engine

accessiBe provides an AI-powered background process that scans on a 24 hour basis and remediates on a session basis. It also provides an on-demand accessibility interface that allows users to customize the site’s appearance and interaction to meet their individual needs.

Accessibility is not a one-time project for us — it is an ongoing effort. We regularly test, audit, and update the site to identify and resolve potential barriers.

Accessibility Features

To support accessible browsing, the JBW website includes, but is not limited to, the following features:

  • Text alternatives (alt text) for images and non-text content.
  • ARIA labels and roles where visible text is not sufficient.
  • Logical heading structure and readable navigation order.
  • Keyboard operability for all interactive elements.
  • Screen-reader compatibility with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
  • An accessibility interface (via accessiBe) that allows users to:
    • Adjust font size, spacing, and alignment
    • Change color contrast and display modes
    • Stop animations and motion effects
    • Highlight content and improve focus visibility
Ongoing Remediation & Continuous Improvement

JBW is actively engaged in:

  • 24 hour session based automated monitoring via accessWidget
  • Monthly audits using the WAVE Evaluation Tool
  • Manual review of templates, navigation, and key user flows
  • Periodic updates to align with evolving WCAG standards

While we strive for full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, some content or third-party integrations may not yet be fully accessible. We are committed to addressing such issues in a timely manner when they are identified.
